latter place. They keep large number
of cattle and on the day in question the
bovines We're roaming about in one of
the fields in which there are Il number of
high hills. and these latter We're covered
with ice which rendered them as slippery
as glass. Along the top of one of these
hills the cattle We're moving along slowly
when one of the cows slipped and fell, but
tobOggan like, never stopped until she
landed at the bottom. Then another and
another followed suit until five or six had
performed a similar feat. 1t remained
for the last Of the cows to perform tie
crowning feat. She sat down on her hind
legs and erect on her fore feet and started
down the incline. All went well until
near the bottom Of the hill. when her
front feet caught in the ice, causing her to
perform an acrObaic feat which would
make a gymnast turn green with envy.
The cattle seemed 20 enjoy the impromptu
slide and when they brought up at the
base of the hill would ginGerly get on TO
their feet and move of as though it was
nothing unusual, Altogether il was an
amusing sight.-Altoona Tribune.

incidental outlays, such as for licenses,
rent of lots to show on, hotel bills, feed
for the animals, provisions and any other
items not included in the departments al

might be imagined. There are certain
classes of animals, known to circus men as
hay animals, bread animals, meat ami
